I love cute and furry bunnies so there's no better excuse to feature these little critters on my card than at Easter ... and there's nothing better to accompany the Easter Bunny than some yummy chocolate! Two of my favourite things on one card! :0)

I really love bunnies and chicks for easter cards, but my all time favourite animals for cards are mice, so when I can make an easter card with cute mice on it, I am totally happy. I really love their cute look!

Oh it just has to be a bunny, with their twitchy little noses, long whiskers and soft little tails, just love 'em! Mind you, the bunny that I owned once wasn't a soft and fluffy cuddle monster, she was a real demon, obviously not designed for Easter!

I must admit that I'm a bit of a fan of both (depending on the mood or theme). However, even though this was intended to be a fairly flat card, I can't resist adding layers of papers using dies and ribbons. Even the tag that I added was raised up on foam pads, so I guess I like layers! I do think a bit of texture makes a hand crafted card differ from something that's shop-bought.

Most of the times my cards are really Clean and simple. I am not doing well with combining design papers, so I will not use lots of layers on my card. I also love the challenge to make a pretty card with just one layer.

I think single layer cards like Larissa's look so good, but I just can't do it! I do like pretty patterned papers and when I've tried single layers I always feel as though I have something missing so I stick to more than one.

I love the CAS look of one-layer cards, but the Distress Inks don't work well with the cardstock I use for my base cards, so there are always layers to allow me to use Bristol Board to colour on, so I tend to favour the multiple layers option, even if it's only a couple!

Quite often I get so engrossed in the image that I completely forget to include a sentiment, but I've been really trying hard recently to remember the pesky things! My Stamping Platform was a real game changer for me and given me a new found confidence in stamping sentiments after I've coloured the image. Before I got it, I'd certainly never dream of stamping them directly onto the face of my image panel through fear of messing up the stamped image. However, that's exactly what I did with my card. The Stamping Platform means I can make a decision later in the construction, seeing how the card will look with or without the sentiment and also where to place it whilst knowing I won't mess up the card with a patchy inking.

Most of the times I stamp my image direct on my card or on the shape that I use for my image. Often there is enough room and I love that I don't have to think about a solution where and how I must add the sentiment. And I agree with Annette having a stamping platform makes it really easy to stamp you sentiment direct on the card.

I used to stamp my sentiment on a banner or label but have, more recently, stamped direct on my card. Like Annette I am much braver using my stamping platform, if you make a boo boo you can overstamp without smudges...ace!!

My most often way to add a sentiment is to stamp it direct to the image panel. Unlike some of my teamies, this has never scared me and with the aid of an acrylic block I can usually get it straight! I have an enormous library of sentiment stamps now, but there is always room for more. I do love a sentiment with a good pun in it too.As a bonus, I have added a stacked word die to this card, simply because it worked so well with the stamped words

I love to stamp the sentiments. Although I love my Misti tool I mostly add my sentiment on a small piece of paper. It's always straight and crisp and It gives a little more dimension.

So now it's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite way to add a sentiment.
